If you receive structured settlement payments from Corebridge Financial (formerly AIG Life & Retirement), your annuity was issued by one of the largest structured settlement providers in the country. Corebridge services over 60,000 structured settlement annuitants and claims to have written more structured settlement premium than any other company. Whether your paperwork says “AIG,” “American General,” or “Corebridge,” the underlying annuity issuer is the same.
We see Corebridge annuities constantly. Their Amarillo, Texas office handles all structured settlement servicing, and in our experience they process transfers reliably once the court order is in hand. The biggest confusion we see from customers is just the name change, which we cover below.
The AIG-to-Corebridge Transition
AIG acquired American General Corporation in 2001, bringing American General Life Insurance Company under the AIG umbrella. Over the next two decades, AIG became one of the dominant structured settlement annuity issuers in the US.
In 2022, AIG's life and retirement division rebranded as Corebridge Financial and went public on the NYSE (ticker: CRBG) in September 2022, the largest IPO of that year.
In 2024, AIG sold a 20% stake to Nippon Life Insurance Company and completed deconsolidation. Corebridge is now an independent public company.
Important: The legal entity names on your annuity contract have NOT changed. Your annuity was issued by either American General Life Insurance Company (for policies outside New York) or The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (for New York policies). Only the parent brand changed.
All structured settlement servicing is handled from Corebridge's Amarillo, Texas office.
Which Entity Issued Your Annuity
- American General Life Insurance Company (AGL) Issues in all states except New York. Domiciled in Houston, TX.
- The United States Life Insurance Company in the City of New York (“US Life”) Issues only in New York. One of the oldest stock life insurance companies in the US.
- If your paperwork references AIG, American General, AGL, or US Life: it's all the same company, now under the Corebridge Financial umbrella.
How to Get Your Corebridge Benefits Letter (Verification of Benefits)
Before a transaction can proceed, you will need a Verification of Benefits letter from Corebridge. This letter confirms your payment amounts, dates, frequency, duration, and whether payments are guaranteed or life contingent. Here is how to request one:
- Call Corebridge Structured Settlements at (800) 288-4088
- Email: ssrequest@corebridgefinancial.com
- Fax: (806) 349-5802
- Mail: Corebridge Financial, Attn: Structured Settlements Department, P.O. Box 15367, Amarillo, TX 79105-5367
You'll need your annuity contract number, full name, Social Security Number, and date of birth. Expect 5–15 business days for delivery.
